This is a vast topic. Let me pick a random one. 1982/83 India tours Pakistan lost 0-3 SMG captain SMG loses captaincy 1983 West Indies tour 0-2 loss Kapil captain 1983 Kapil leads INdia to win world cup 1983 India loses against to West Indies 0-3 at home also whitewashed in one dayers Kapil loses captaincy 1984/85 Sunny loses 1-2 to England SMG loses captaincy How would you compare that with current scenario?

Azharuddin was another lucky guy who did not get penalized after 4 straight overseas series losses. NZ, England, OZ, SA. Because he was an yes man his position did not get questioned. Srikkanth fought for players in 1989 series.. though he was extremely poor as a batsman he was dropped from the side. From captain to loss of place from the side.

I hope the selectors take the right step and unlike last whitewashes we have some alternatives. It would have happened automatically if people were agitated like after WC 2007 but Dhoni has too much goodwill among the public.

Only a mini rebellion from someone to question Dhoni's decision making and BCCI's selection can bring about changes and axing of Dhoni as captain. The only player with enough goodwill and impossible for BCCI to sideline right now is Kohli. So onus on Kohli to start questioning Dhoni and BCCI.

TFS, VVS. Why was SMG re-appointed as the captain if he was stripped off it before?
They were the top two players at that point. Vengy was still estbalishing himself. Only after Vengy becamse world no.1 batsman in 1986 he was made captain. Sunny's retirement also coincided with that. Mohinder had a history with selectors. No one else was available at that time to hold their spot apart from noob Azhar. But i have to say those days test series loss was a big thing even against mighty teams. NOwadays we go easy on our team if they have a tough loss against a really top class team.

You guys think your problems will be fixed with getting rid of dhoni, any other team would give an arm and a leg to have this guy as their captain. Not his fault if he has shyt bowlers, people criticize his field placements but what can a guy do when he has tried every orthodox placement to get a wicket.
